The care below is tarantulas-level guidance from our species hub, sourced to Merck Veterinary Manual — Exotic & Laboratory Animals and RSPCA — Invertebrates. It applies to Chilean rose tarantula exactly as it applies to every other tarantulas variety. We do not publish variety-specific temperament, lifespan or weight numbers that we cannot source.
Heat, humidity, and the molt
Most pet tarantulas want 70–80°F (21–27°C) and species-specific humidity (40–70%); research yours. The critical event is molting — they lie on their back and shed; NEVER disturb a molting spider, and raise humidity slightly beforehand. After molt they are soft and must not be fed for a week. A failed molt is the top cause of death.
Feeding and the no-handle rule
Feed live or pre-killed insects (crickets, roaches, occasional mealworm) every 1–2 weeks for adults, more for spiderlings. Remove uneaten prey. Tarantulas are not social and should not be cohabitated (they eat each other). Handling risks a fatal fall and a stress reaction — observe, don't hold. A hook or cup is the safe way to move one.
